For all those who've seen these before, I've fixed a few mistakes (fittingly, I'd forgotten Bunet had +1 to his Luck cap) and added some new info to Celine (comments pointed out the Marth and Sigurd thing and I felt it needed mentioning), and tiny extra to Kagetsu's because lol. Editing this together made me realize how much I miss this cast. I've realized that this is probably my favourite cast in the series gameplay-wise. Although there's some balance issues, everyone is usable as both a short-term and long-term unit and besides the trainees everyone joins at a good level for their chapter so can easily slot into a team. Also, I just found out Engage has surpassed Three Houses (which itself had surpassed Xenoblade 2 AND 3) as my most-played Switch game!

This game has no balancing issues. Kagetsu: PRECISION AND POWER

Love that when you talk about Boucheron, the first chain attacking character, you change the BGM to the chain attack theme from Xenoblade 3

A fun fact i learned about the dlc dragon siblings: they can use Veyle's obscurite tome, which is more significant for Nel as it is for Rafal, since she has the better mag stat and can actually be a really decent lance mage knight that way

“surprisingly deadly alpaca” clearly words uttered by someone who has never met one

I like how Rosado's portrait and personal skill photo are making the same pose

Using the GBA Emblem music for Anna is so incredibly based of you

What makes their imbalancing even more stupid is that Kagetsu and Bunet join in back to back chapters.

Framme ended up being my Amber. There's just something funny about a child punching armored enemies to death. Also don't get in her way because, *"SHE'S ON A MISSION!"*

Celine’s Luck is actually really when used with Staves and Divine Pulse. She single handedly held off the bosses in 17 with Freeze so I could do them 1 by 1.

Really enjoyed watching your play-through! These Bios are one of the best parts! Very thorough and interesting!

persona music behind Yunaka? He knew what he was doing. Instant 10/10

I've been waiting for something like this because I'm seriously considering buying Engage for Christmas so this will be very handy. Can't wait for the Emblem Bio Compilation (assuming you make that).

On Panette: Her Proficiency in Knives makes it so that she gets S knives as a wolf knight, which is honestly nice since you can get both S rank knives from the story. Wolf Knight patches up her speed issue pretty well. When I did Maddening I had Wolf Knight Panette (with Wrath!) paired with Lucina, giving her the extra speed and dex she wants, along with a nice bonus of being able to dual assist poison.

Just... thank you so much for these bios Both these and the emblem ones

This kind of content makes me regain hope in humanity. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Lindon also makes amazing use of the Olwen ring with his personal skill. Since at that point in the game, it will always be active with a basic thunder tome required for dire thunder He can be a critical hit powerhouse with that

thank you so much for this ive been watching your vids since awakening and i will say my fav playthrough of yours is lost dimension!

Been awhile for the Character Guides for them being Recruitable the last time I watch of theirs so.. That's very nice. Including the DLC Fell Xenologue units..

I like how it shows the true base stats, makes this video a good resource for reclassing, like how vander has equal base strenght and magic wich means if you're insane enough to use vander long term you could send him down a magic path

I love the choice of xenoblade 3 chain attack for boucheron its too perfect

8:05 Man, this line really did age well

I appreciate the chain attack music at chain attacking boucheron

Just noticed we've got the Xenoblade 3 Chain Attack music when talking about Boucheron's chain attacks. :)

Love this guide! Just getting into engage and this was hugely helpful. Thanks!!!

Always nice to have all the bios in one spot. And the thumbnail is too true.

Okay, screw it, im not going to lie. I ~subbed~ as soon as I heard the Zelkov reading.

Love the use of Xenoblade 3's chain attack for Boucheron's section

I find it funny how I used Kagetsu on his introductory chapter and never again but Bunet became a mainstay on my team, the dude is a wall and became my defacto tank alongside Louis

This is awesome what u put out, its a nice guide for everyone, i am looking foreard to the chloé and goldmary one, its nice to see what units skills and bases are and how they will impact the game

just want to say that I appreciate your use of the chain attack music from Xenoblade 3

44:39 the last thing you here before you die

using the XC3 Chain Attack theme when talking about Boucheron was so funny lmao

10/10 Thumbnail. I approve of Bunet getting his own bottom tier. Xp But again though, surreal to think we're at the bio compilations for Engage already. Felt like yesterday when we started this LP. At the very least, it's fun getting to hear these again. Will be keeping all of this in mind come the start of next year when I'll probably be jumping into my Maddening Mode Run. Also those post-edit notes during Clanne's bio. LMAO #Clanne4Endgame In other news, a lot since the last video, but I'll probably break it up all down with the next LP.

Behold as we go over the cast again, see who is trying to powercreep who and why Kagetsu is absolutely busted

On my first playthrough I was messing around with Emblems and gave Celica to Louis it was quite fun to play around with and with a few good level ups and he even got some Magic level ups causing him to hit harder it was quite fun

mage knight anna absolutely carried my maddening run during late game with fairly little investment. the extra money was also really helpful!

I started a new playthrough recently, and I chose to use some characters I never used long term or at all in my previous runs. Like Chloe, Etie, Citrinne, and Bunet (…yes him. Also, lol thumbnail!). Citrinne’s been an excellent Sage especially with Byleth equipped. Etie’s tough to use because of her starting rut, but making her Warrior temporarily really fixed her. Chloe’s done…Good Enough? I’ve had to rewind a lot for her because she kept dying, but she’s improved in the later half with the help of a Lyn/Sigurd skill combo. Hopefully that’ll stick. And finally Bunet, I gave him a Speedwing after he joined, and he’s surprisingly gained speed on most of his levels, although his strength is lacking as a draw back. Otherwise, he’s been doing his job well enough as a mobile tank. Even gained some appreciation for him as a character in some of his supports, he’s actually quite wholesome when he’s not wanting to lick everything. Watching your playthrough motivated me to play this game more, and you taught me a lot of neat tricks that have worked wonders for this run. Thank you for this BigKlingy. 👍

It's been a while, but I think I put tiki on seadall since dance is one of the few (if not only?) Class skills you can use while transformed so it lets him dance and put himself in danger to do so with Tiki’s tanky transform

my bunet paired with ike could single handled almost every map, he was my strongest unit (thanks also to some perfect level up), so i was very surprised when you started talking about me

Surprised you didn't mention the busted Framme/Lucina dual guard build. She will have so much evade due to her supports enemies won't attack her while she makes the people next to her completely immune to damage

When me and my buddy got access to the dlc, we both pretty much decided simultaniously that Anna would become our cannoneer. After that, she proceeded to pay the tuitions required for the other cannonners in my army (in his, she payed for other reclasses and mainly equipment upgrades). Once the luck gets high enough the gold starts flowin good lol

Timerra works when you get her Class ability after level 5 that basically makes her a Critical Hit machine. Her dexterity becomes her chances landing a critical blow. She is a Frontliner that has saved my army a couple of times but I admit it took me a while to understand how she works

One quick note about Diamant: His personal skill only requires that he initiates combat and the foe is able to counter attack. It does NOT require the foe be at full health (I believe you were thinking of Xander's Personal skill when you said that, as the two characters are quite similar and their personal skills are both related to honor). This makes Diamant a very good Player Phase unit, as he still benefits from Fair Fight if he Breaks his opponent, making him a good initiator against Lance and Axe foes. If he doesn't kill them, he can then contribute with Dual Strikes when another unit moves in to mop up. Diamant should usually be the first unit you use on your turn. You can also reclass him into Hero to further lean into this strategy with Brave Assist (while potentially giving him Lances, rather than Axes if you so desire, as he joins while you still have the Sigurd ring). Unless you plan on giving him something like the Ike/Hector or even the Roy ring and patching up his Dex with a Skill inherit from an Emblem Ring, it's probably better to straight up ignore Successeur, much like how Alfred tends to perform better as a Paladin, rather than as an Avenir.

For Gregory you said enemies. It doesn't really matter but it makes his ability a bit more better since being surrounded by allies is more common

I was surprised to hear the comments about Timerra. In all of my playthroughs, she always very quickly becomes one of my best units - particularly as a tank. A few level ups in her base class, and she becomes practically unkillable having really good Defense, Resistance, and Avoid. Paired with an Emblem that has Defense capabilities, such as Ike, Corrin, or Hector, she becomes an incredible unit for baiting enemies to their death. I find that she’s especially deadly when outfitted with a Killer Lance and a Spear to switch between depending on the situation. In doing this, it allows her to bait and just absolutely _obliterate_ hordes of enemies, or at least weaken them significantly so that other allies can quickly follow up.

I’m currently doing my second playthrough where all units are thieves and Framme is just way too overpowered as a thief. She does more damage than everyone else and is already dodge tanking before Chapter 10! Needless to say, Framme is one of my favorite units to use in the Fire Emblem series thus far and that’s saying a lot considering I don’t have a lot of favorites in Fire Emblem. Framme is one of those characters to me.

22:59 one thing that I did on my first lunatic play, was to make him a wolf knight, gave him the steel great lance and he was not weighed down, in fact, I think he wasn’t even doubled on Veronicas’s chapter pre chapter 11 I wanted to play around with the class, he already has enough bulk and can keep growing it, yes, his personal can be a little restrictive, but it’s efficiency, I still enjoy it :3c He was also pretty easy to level up as a knight, when I do another run, I might hold off until after the 2 chapters since I think he’s just good as a wolf knight out of the box

Nice to see this. Also poor Ian Sinclair.

SO. MANY. BIOS!

> Take Over during Yunaka's section ***We love to see it.***

42:28 man, a lot of lines really aged well during the playthrough.

Just hit endgame; really enjoyed my playthrough. Final team: (Gave the Pact Ring to Saphir) Divine Dragon Alear (Roy) Swordmaster Anna (Tiki) Great Knight Jade (Hector) Halberdier Saphir (Ike) Sage Clanne (Soren) High Priest Framme (Veronica) Griffin Knight Rosado (Lucina) Wolf Knight Yunaka (Edelgard) Swordmaster Lapis (Chrom) Berserker Jean (Byleth) Dance Seadall (Sigurd) Sniper Etie (Lyn) Sage Lindon (Micaiah) Fell Child Veyle (Celica) I really like how between Emblems and the ability to reclass into anything you want with a little effort, combined with the fact that there isn't really any situation that goes "train as or you're screwed", means you're free to experiment and have fun with your teams. You could even go ahead and do -only challenge runs if you're so inclined. I want to do another playthrough eventually, but I *did* promise I'd let my roommate borrow my copy once I beat the game. :P And fun fact: Berserker Jean with Starsphere is one of the few units in the game that has a chance of getting +2 in a stat on level (in this case, HP).

While there are obviously units that stand above others, what i really like about this FE, is that all units are viable and can become good for maddening.

Alright, on Lapis, her on Wyvern using lances is very very good, she has access to sigurd's Early lance power and with Fensalir, She will be then one of the most damaging units you have access to until warrior Kagetsu and Mage knight Pandreo (the literal two best units in the game lol)

What's the song at 28:10? I'm shaking so much I'm obsessed borderline crying

7:34 one thing that I suggest is reassessing Vender to warrior & sticking Veronica on him I find back up units to be my favorite for her, this allows him to go for a more supporting role, with contract, healing, book of worlds if you ever want, Granted, I still don’t use him often, but I have played around with this set a bit and I do like it, just depends if you’re willing to give up a second seal for this tbf

Love the Persona music for Yunaka

My griffin Lapis was a monster, crazy avoid, stupid high crit, and pretty good strength on mine and BOOM

I am here to tell you all of my lord and savior... Yunaka. It is. INCREDIBLY fun to have such an absurd dodge tank xD Who got blessed by RNG on her growths. She saved my Xenologue clears even without them thanks to Leif and Marth giving her massive avoid bonuses. Along with Lyn's speedtaker. I was able to have her take down one half of the map while everyone else was doing the other side, lol. I'm relying pretty heavily on her in Maddening as well. And if the enemies try to avoid attacking her. Well then they're still getting picked off, it just takes longer. LOL!

Oh hey, your back. Well I'm at finals week. So I haven't playing that munch with persona 5 tactica. So far my favorite to use is Yusuke. Seriously Auto-Masuku with a base 7 momvent along with ice being the better elements is strong.

One thing I like to do is to reclass Louis into a Halberdier when he starts falling off a little and you don't really need a tank anymore. Cause his str is always gonna be really high, so letting him cheat quadruple via pincer attacks and a brave lance.

1:32:47 I reclassed her to a sword general and it somewhat fixed her accuracy. Also, all of the winds managed to keep up with my post game team. Even taking 0 damage for post game enemies.

On my first Maddening run right now, I hadn't played the game since launch meaning I had forgotten about Kagetsu and Pandreo so I put stat boosting Items onto Lapis and Celine, so when these 2 showed up the sunk cost fallacy made me skip them, I am just now learning that I'm apparently doing an accidental challenge run lol.

On Saphir's bio you mention using her for Longbow chain attacks.. Im pretty sure that only works for chaeacters with Blue Proficiency on bows, locking her out of them.

So somethings I did my first run I reclassed Chloe to Royal Knight. I found this kept most of the perks of Griffon Knight, while only losing flying access which would be a big loss but Sigurd gives enough movement anyways for it to work. It also allows Chloe to be a good mixed attacker, using her magic and the flamelance to be really effective. I also reclassed Anna to Wolf Knight and gave her a levin sword. Really effective unit able to dodge tank most things, retaliate, have good luck, and just be a great money farmer. Getting into DLC here, but Citrinne I kept as a Sage, but I gave her Soren. This combined with Roy's holdout brought back the days of Awakening Nosferatsu tanking and turned her into a big enemy phase clearer. I also gave Camilla to Panette, enhancing her mobility and letting her in a big AOE with a big axe for big damage. Also some minor reclass bits I found useful, Jade really suffers when using axes, so I reclassed her to the sword variant and have had no issues with her. Swords really fix her hit rate issues and make her able to nearly stand equal to Louis. Yunaka did fall off for me on hard, but I did train her back up to be top tier in endgame. In particular, she did really well as a Halberdier when I put her there to patch up her stats. Celine despite being a mixed attacker was my best magical unit until I trained Citrinne up near lategame. Even then she still hit hard and her versatility was always useful. Framme also fell off but then I made her a high priest and she became godly. Final unit I want to mention is Lapis, personally I kept her as swordmaster, and found that by investing heavily into crit on her she was able to keep up, especially with Chrom's skill making crits deal more damage.

I like to make Goldmary a berserker I find that her growths benefit from berserker the most giving her extreme amounts of HP and makes her strength growth really good

1:25:01 so something interesting I found about Nel. She has better stats as a halberdier. And this was after a reclass.

I've promoted my Chloe into a wyvern knight and she is consistently my best unit doubling every enemy with lots of damage. As well as being extremely hard to hit.

If Sandstorm had a higher proc rate or it was the personal skill and allowed reclassing, I could see a meme build working, but right now after 3 attempts she ends up mid even after favoritism on hard, can't imagine it working on Maddening.

I saw Nintendo use her as an Axe wolf knight, and I never looked back

Personally, I found Boucheron to be the ideal character to turn into a Mage Cannoneer if you do the Fell Xenologue before chapter 11. His sizable Dex growth, along with solid Bld, means that he can hit decently hard with the cannons and have solid accuracy. And since he's firing from far away, you can very easily have Backup units there to support his personal skill. Chrom actually was a pretty fun character to use with him, since that way I got Robin to chain attack as well, and it bumped chain attack accuracy up to 90%.

I’m not sure I understand what was said at 17:45. You get Boucheron in chapter 3 and get lapis is chapter 7 and diamant in chapter 8. These are two more chain attackers that are within 7 chapters of Boucheron joining… did I misunderstand what you were saying? Also Anna paralogue is available after chapter 6, another chain attacker

I've read once that if you're willing to forge a Hurricane Axe that you get in chapter 14, and give it Ike's engraving, Jade as a General with only 6 base magic and OHKO Griffon and Wyvern Knights. I actually want to try it out.

I made lapis a swordmaster with Lyn's emblem and made her a crit sword unit. She just needs a push getting attack bonuses

My Timerra was a monster on my first Maddening run, but I did have a plan for her build (no pun intended) before starting my run. I think she's one of the few units in the game that makes good use of Leif to patch up her build problems and with sandstorm she has the potential to either delete an enemy or do no damage with quadruple hit lol. I also inherited resolve+ and gentility+ on her (obviously heavy investment here) and she ended up being one of my endgame units.

Ive wondered why Zelkov talks the way he does, i dont mind it i just simply want to know out of curiosity

In the story they mentioned that timerra and her retainers like to ride wolves for fun and the often patrol too. Maybe the knife proficiency comes from being trained like a wolf knight, which has knife proficiency

Everyone is good if you give them levels and have good strategy.

It feels like Firenne got the short end of the stick with its units, with only 2 or 3 decent units, while the other countries have plenty of good units, especially Brodia and Solm.

I'll always find it funny that diamant gets sol with a dex cap of 23. (not that 23% chance is an awful chance, but is much lower than most modern games since awakening). Main thing though is that fair fight is always active when he initiates which does a fair bit to patch up his shaky hit rates. and despite that i found successor to be on the better end of personal class promos given how well rounded it is physically.

Something that the name fod this video makes me think, this is a compilation of the character bios that where sone during the game, rather than what I think the length of character guides should be, most of the ones I’ve seen tend to be longer than what the combined length of this video would suggest. Your talking 40 characters to get through in less than 2 hours, It does kind of show that the bios are mostly meant to be a small part of another video and not entirely detailed overviews of the characters your talking about rather than dedicated videos in themselves, by comparison the Awakening Bios total 8 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds combined, even before considering that they involved things such as voice acting trivia that is still a longer time spent on individual characters, hence why they are entirely separate videos, Despite there being less character bios in that series, only Morgan of the second generation characters actually got one.

I've held firm ever since the well update that Framme is nearly as good as Chloe with Eirika//Martial Master, freeing Chloe up to do some better stuff; Framme just needs a little bit of extra investment, but the well made that way easier. Also, Jean is hilariously swol as a Berserker.

Timerra is the best tank for maddening dude Sandstorm > General, Gk, etc

Despite what anyone says, I’m a officially a Fire Emblem fan thanks to Engage. This play has been fun. For better or worse, and I want to give my opinions on each unit. 0:00 Alear is the most standard lord, but Alear plays to the strengths of this game really well. Starting with the Marth Emblem and having low SP costs meaning that by getting to Rank 10 with Marth, which is easy to do, Alear can be a great dodge tank. Alear's exclusive class means he gets the most Emblem bonuses out of any character in the game until Veyle. Really their main weakness is their magic stat, meaning that Celica and Micaiah aren't the best choices to boost Alear's damage. If there is any consolation to doing this, more magic for the Levin Sword (the only 1-2 range option they have unitl they get Wille Glanz), and with Micaiah, they give Alear extra range in Staves. Alear is a lot more versatile than one might think because Alear takes full advantage of what the game wants you to do. 4:45 Vander is the Jaegan that will only last you for so long, but his personal skill is actual decent for Alear if they and Vander have the Killer Weapons. But really, the only way Vander can be useful is with Tiki and Edelgard Linage and Starsphere skills. If Vander wasn't a Jaegan, he would have been a great unit... I think. 7:34 You got extremely lucky with Clanne, #Clanne4Endgame 9:44 Framme is surprising useful thanks to being one of the only Qi Adepts in the game. It's just a matter of her getting good level ups is the problem. If Framme is just as lucky as Clanne was here, she can be the best Bond Shield user and Micaiah user. but again, that's if your lucky. I wasn't sadly and I gave her up. 11:58 Alfred. Poor Alfred, out of all of the Royals in the game, he got stuck with the worst class. The final stat cap for Avenir is not bad IMO, but the thing that could have made him better, was if Golden Lotus halved damage for ALL attacks. With Gentility, he would have made for a better tank. But no… That being said, there is a reason why I kept him in my final team over Amber. As an early unit who will be able to use Marth and Sigurd after Chapter 3 that means he has more chances to get their skills while Amber joins around the time where will she won’t have enough time to invest. (Better than Jade at least, but still). Alfred is usable. That’s all I will say and I’m glad I didn’t give up on him. Alas, he could have been better. 14:47 Poor Etie, outclassed by Alcryst is every way. I’m sorry Etie fans, but in all of my Playthroughs, I just couldn’t find use for Etie. By the time I got Alcryst, I saw no point in using her. 16:52 Early chain attack user. I guess… 19:49 A hybrid physical and magical attacking unit with Ignis, and staff utility. Céline has a lot to work with once she promotes, she starts with Celica and has the exact boosts she needs to make use of her starting ring right away. As a Mystical unit she does more damage with Warp Ragnarok (boosted with Ignis). Her real weakness are the lack of build which holds her speed cap (which is not bad) and her stats aren’t nearly as high as others. But her luck makes her a great Byleth user. 22:57 Despite General not being a good class and one too many Lance Users (one of my biggest grips with Engage Gameplay wise), but I think Louis and Chloé does a better job with Lances. Louis with max build means that he can use both of the S Rank Lances better than Timerra since he doesn’t need speed and has more attack power. Louis and Sigurd is master piece of a pair because giving an Armor unit more Mobility is glorious. 25:29 Chloé is my favorite unit from Firene gameplay wise. She has good growths of Strength and Magic which lets her use all of the Emblems well to some degree, and her cap speed as Griffon Knight. It’s a chef’s kiss. Despite being another Lance user, it works because with Sigurd and Marth, they better mobility, attack power, and movement or speed. With a cap of 52, she always double and avoid getting doubled herself. And she has Staff usage. So feel free to use Micaiah on her. So I made my peace. Chloé is the best Firene character as a unit, I wished I like her character and support with Alear more. 28:10 One of the only main chain guards who will get thanks to his starting class. But as a trainee unit with healing, level up is a grind but will gain the boost in stats need to be great at anything. But with the classes he is best known for (Martial Master and Martial Priest), do you make Jean into an another chain guard user, or a magic attacker with an S rank in Staffs? Pick your poison. Other than that, Jean is whatever you want him to be if you’re diligent with him. 31:05 My girl, Yunaka! The Corrin Yunaka build is busted (a little bit too much), but I wonder if I should try a Wrath Vantage combo on her…? Hmmm. As I was saying, Yunaka is great for debilitating or killing. 34:01 Is the investment to get more money worth it? You tell me… 37:28 Alcryst may not be Diamant, but that Dex and Strength is all he needs to be better than Etie in every way. His personal promotional class skill Luna will Pierce through defense like a hot knife through butter. Luna Astra Storm anyone. But part is, Luna works well with most other attacks as well with Crits to boost the damage. But as an Archer, without a mini bow, he’s going to be unable to Counterattack. Overall, Alcryst is the best archer and one of the best units in Engage IMO. 39:48 Poor girl. Horribly outclassed by Kagetsu. But if you want to use her, I won’t stop you. 42:37 Citrinne is only here if Clanne and Céline aren’t making the cut. I will admit that she has potential for being a good Olwen user. 46:50 Diamant comes first here because he is the crown prince of Brodia and the first Roy user. Sadly, his poor Dex. I’m sorry but, Alcryst is better for damage control. Despite that, he is a backup unit, so with Dual Assist, he can be a good Chain Attack assets. My personal favorite use for him is with Wrath and Vantage with Roy equipped. Diamant has better staying power than Alcryst. So that’s a huge point in his favor. 44:38 Amber turned out better than I thought. Maybe I treated him too harshly. But I doubt he will be on my Maddening team… 49:47 Poor Jade. Honestly, you really need to be conservative of Bond Fragments and Skill books if you REALLY want to use her, as to me, being an Axe Armored Unit is her saving grace. If it wasn’t for the Fell Xenologue where use can potentially get a better one sooner… oof 51:38 Ivy… Ivy Ivy Ivy. I really love Ivy, one of my favorites in the game but where as Bigklingy loves Ivy as a unit, I’m personally mixed. Thankfully, she starts with the Lyn Emblem, which fixes her main weaknesses (Speed and Dexterity). But good lord, it’s either focus on giving more power or making sure she herself doesn’t get doubled and killed or needing to hit. Because of her low Dex, I find her unbearable to use most of the time. Speaking of her Dex, Grasping Void is extremely unreliable IMO. It only works with Tomes (so only Warp Ragnarok and Cataclysm will work) and it depends on the magic of her target when she may have the damage she needs to destroy Armor units. That being said, her saving graces prevents her from being far from bad. Unlike Veyle, she has higher build and can fly, she has Staff usage, and is obtained earlier than Veyle. Ivy made me realize how much I underestimated the Surge tomes in their usage. 56:08 Kagetsu. Need I say more? I like using him as Swordmaster, a bad class maybe, but I love that Critcal Hit animation. 54:35 I may *consider* using Zelkov in my Maddening Run *if* he does well… 58:21 Fogado is an interesting unit, he lacks the raw power of Alcryst and his Luna attacks and doesn’t have an S Rank in Bows. But he makes up for it by being a Calvary Unit that can use Swords. And his speed cap is among one of the highest in the game. Also, Back at you is a personal class skill that I don’t think is that good but still has some uses. He might work with a Wrath and Vantage combo when using Veronica as Reprisal will stack with Back at you for more damage. 1:00:29 Kagetsu as a healer. Another character I might consider for Maddening. 1:02:08 By the way, you can’t bring Bento 🍱 to the Fell Xenologue. Sorry Bunet. 1:03:45 Timerra. Ok @Bigklingy. I guess we are rivals now, you think Ivy is amazing while I am mixed, where I think Timerra is a great unit (albeit struggles a lot) while you think she is bad. That being said, Timerra is not the best Great Aether user. Sandstorm is still satisfying to see activate and kill a unit Timerra would have struggled with otherwise. And by the way, I have reached the 400 hit damage with Timerra and Hector vs Wyvern Knights. It’s beautiful. 1:06:54 Merrin and the Wolf Knight, a great class for debilitating, great class for damage and with Sword and Knife usage, Merrin can be really enjoyable when invested in. 1:08:37 unpopular opinion: Panette is overrated. I argue moreso than Yunaka with Corrin. Don’t get me wrong, he is really good, but her Dex… and the trial maps taught me something important: A powerful attack means nothing if you can’t hit. So she needs Hit rate fixing to be at her best. 1:17:12 Her chain attacking Elegance is too strong for mere mortals to stand up to.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the "stat cap" you mentioned several times? Im kinda new to the series and have never heard this term but seems important

Sorry I didn’t hear a word you said about yunaka I was jamming too hard to the persona music

I need to meet the baffling person that decided the buff and strong Archer needed 4 base Bld.

Boucheron as a berserker is a goddamn HP tank trust me haha it is crazy!

You can pick thief class for alear, inherit marths skill before he leaves. I dont know why no one talks about it but its legitimately busted especially with lyn. He does nothing but dodge, double, and crit.

Lapis on a wyvern using a killer blade is a menace

I've been trying to get alcryst's level up as he's my only archer in the team but legit he's only got 15 str and he's a level 10 sniper (Lv 30 total) who had used the Tiki skill. Devastatingly bad luck lmao. I just hit chapter 19 as well. He's cooked chat

Neat

And time to look through this for what my PMU roster ended up being so far ….and I now have more fear over being given Sage Bunet with that mag growth

What you do with Anna is reclass her to Warrior or Bow Knight and give her the Radiant Bow to use that MAG. The bow-capable classes have low MAG caps; so their lack of inherent MAG... dosen't matter. And you can still bop Pegs and such with physical bows.

Alear is an male and female the Divine Dragon 🐉 from Fire Emblem Engage.

you forgot to mention that boucheron with brave axe can hit some of the highest damage numbers in the game. you get a free brave axe when recruiting saphir and on maddening Boucheron was able to one round dragon form sombron 3 times in a single turn (because dancers). I released a video demonstrating this if anyone is curious to see it in action. When brave weapons upgrade they get an increase of 1 might because that bit of damage is massive so Boucheron's personal giving two extra damage is massive, especially since Bouche is practically the only unit in the game that can quad consistently with Brave Axe in fe engage. if you level him up reasonably you get a fast bulky unit that can support with chain attacks and kill anything through brave axe quads.

What were they smoking making units like Kagetsu dope but make units like Roaado weak despite being recruited later?

I will help you with Timerra. Here is the most brainless way to get her 1 rounding (I have more high skill builds, but we will focus on this) Lance power 5, SPD+5, Sigurd. I run T4 wells all game so I can afford to SP dump in this way to at least 3-5 units a playthrough but you could at the very least suggest this high SP cost build because she will 1 round at base no sandstorm, gets momentum damage, dex/def boost from sig and BLD increase. If you want something cheaper: SPD+5/Resolve+. Fensilar +3-5/Javelin +3-5 Roy OR Eirika. This build can switch between these emblems, the emblems damage fix her, she can function as a main tank on either due to her high DEF and SPD/average res letting her EP a large number of enemies (tested/proven on my channel, also stress tested against 7+ CH23 maddening enemies hitting her per turn, with both emblems). On the Eirika Front it lets her 1 round playerphase and typically on EP. Roy gives +6 STR/+8 when engaged, Roy also gives more SPD/dex/def/res and you can use Binding Blade to proc sandstorm 1-2 range and it is weightless on her as it has 8 WT. I am fine with people not finding her good but you could at least have the game knowledge to share when going over units THIS LATE after release. You also could have just parroted builds from my or other channels so you at least have a build to discuss instead of writing off the unit and claiming she's unfixable when I had her 1 rounding Lumera/Sombron pre well maddning with just Sigurd SPD+5 and a brave lance, using probability math to produce sandstorms (She took off 2 healthbars) If we can get her working before the well, we can certainly get her working afterwards.
